JJensen Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 Edmonton wants to renew the Gretzky/Messier glory days by drafting both McDavid and Eichel. As GMTM, what package would you want, or is the #2 pick untouchable? Offer #1 Ryan Nugent-Hopkins 2015 #16 Pick in 1st Round 2016 1st Round Pick or how about Offer #2Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Darnell Nurse Edmonton has a lot of assets, so they could make an interesting offer.

bunomatic Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 I want Eichel. No one on the oilers comes close. So our #2 is untouchable imo. Quote
Brawndo Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 Mc David has to be part of any package coming back so no deal Quote
Huckleberry Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 As they won't trade out of Mcdavid , we won't out of Eichel, you just draft talent like that. Quote
thewookie1 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 Chiarelli: Ring, ring, ringGMTM: Hello Chiarelli: Hey Tim, I'm calling to make you an offer. GMTM: Hmmm, alright. Chiarelli: We'd like to trade for your 2nd overall pick this year. GMTM: Okay then, what are you offering? Chiarelli: A 1st, Nugent, Hopkins, and our 1st next year. GMTM: As in the 1st overall? Chiarelli: No, I was meaning the Pittsburgh pick. GMTM: No thank you, Chiarelli: What if I give you more? GMTM: Unless this "more" is McDavid with a Christmas bow on his head, I refuse to trade the number 2 overall. Quote
JJensen Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Posted May 21, 2015 Our first Oilers fan on the board. Fun. I could see why you'd think that. The consequence of this past season was watching and rooting for the Oilers and Coyotes, so yes, I was an Oilers fan for 3 months or so. I'm looking forward to watching Eichel for years to come, so my assessment is jaded with the emotion of the McEichel race. Giving him up seems crazy, BUT there has to be a point where GMTM would pull the trigger. It would be hard to pass on this offer: Nugent-Hopkins Yakupov 2016 1st Round Pick Quote

Offer #1 Ryan Nugent-Hopkins 2015 #16 Pick in 1st Round 2016 1st Round Pick or how about Offer #2 Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Darnell Nurse Edmonton has a lot of assets, so they could make an interesting offer. I want Darnell Nurse, RNH, the rest of their 2015 draft (any pick they own outside of picks 1+2) and I want rounds 1-4 of their 2016 draft. Their first round pick in 2017 and Jordan Eberle. And that is just so I don't hang up the phone immediately and block their number. Chiarelli: Ring, ring, ring GMTM: Hello Chiarelli: Hey Tim, I'm calling to make you an offer. GMTM: Hmmm, alright.

Giving him up seems crazy, BUT there has to be a point where GMTM would pull the trigger. It would be hard to pass on this offer: Nugent-Hopkins Yakupov 2016 1st Round Pick I'm sorry it is very easy to pass on that offer. Yakupov is a big question mark. RNH is lesser Reinhart. That 2016 1st round pick could be anywhere so it is a mystery. You are giving all that up for Jack Eichel, someone who at the Worlds was playing good. That offer doesn't even move the needle. To compare to Buffalo it would be like if we said to Edmonton, we will give you Reinhart (who I think will be better than RNH) Zadorov and a 2016 1st for McDavid. Edmonton just hangs up and stops taking your calls. Edited May 21, 2015 by LGR4GM Quote
MBHockey13 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 If Tim Murray accepted any trade for Eichel that didn't include McDavid coming back the other way, I'd personally lead the angry mob to FNC. I definitely didn't suffer through the worst two years of my life as a Sabre fan for RNH, Yakupov, and a friggin 1st next year. Words can't describe how bad a trade that would be for the Sabres.

Neither of your offers are close to proper value for the #2 pick that gets Jack Eichel. If it was me, the pick wouldn't be on the table. Quote
Claude_Verret Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 or is the #2 pick untouchable? Yes. Quote
thewookie1 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 Is it bad that I read this in Tim Murray's voice? Nope, that's the point :flirt: Quote
JJensen Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Posted May 21, 2015 Is this a hypothetical, or has Chiarelli come out and said publicly that he wants both of them? Purely hypothetical. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 There is no offer Chiarelli could make without McDavid to get me to trade Eichel, and there is no offer Chiarelli would make that includes McDavid. Therefore, I'd talk about Yakupov or hang up the phone. Quote
